north face borealis memories come flooding back to me
Smudger snippets http://www.discountwoodfloors.co.uk/
I suppose it's because i have so much time on my hands these days that all these . The birdduring one of the times i spent on
the oil construction sites i found myself working as a sub contracted welding
inspector on one of the highland sites up north.We were building what was one of
the largest structures ever built at that time;In fact i believe it still holds
the record.It was built in what we called the graving dock;This was a very large
dry dock which could be flooded on completion of the build to float the
structure out to sea.It was so large that it took you twenty minutes to walk the
length of it along the scaffolding path ways and even being built on its side
the high end was twice the height of the houses of parliament.On a clear day i
could see my home town from the highest point of the structure and that was over
seventy miles away by road.Mind you, it was a lot shorter if you went across the
firth by boat-That would more than half the distance. There were two lifts that
took us to the top of the jacket, stopping off at varies levels along the way,
and these lifts were working twenty four hours a day, seven days a week.The work
force was on a three shift system so work never stopped regardless of the
weather.I believe there was only one occasion where we were pulled off the
jacket and that was during a really bad storm which tore the protection sheeting
off from all the scaffolding and threw the walk boards around like they were
match sticks.Some of the actual scaffolding, itself, was blown down and we could
hear it strike the main braces of the jacket that night as they came crashing
down from above.We were working inside the actual braces checking the welds on
the stiffeners inside.The main braces were around thirty feet in diameter so
there was plenty of room for us to get around inside. We were the only people
working that night during the storm as we had plenty of work inside the
structure to catch up with.The fact that there were only six of us inspectors to
keep up with all the production work of around eighty welders meant we were
always busy trying to catch up.It was a common ploy for the welding supervisors
to sneak quietly into the outer office and fill the request log with a lot of
work just before the shift ended.This would then make us look bad in the eyes of
the inspectors coming on the next shift, as they would think that we had left
all that work for them to do.We managed to counter this however by monitoring
the jobs and keeping tabs on the ones that were almost completed so, in fact, we
had already visually inspected the work even before they requested it. Our
office was only a small hut with an outer office which had a counter where the
supervisors used to come and fill in the request log for work to be inspected or
tested on completion or to have fit-Ups checked prior to welding.They were none
too happy about this at times as they always thought of us as a necessary evil,
yet when it came to having welds and sections signed off as clear by the client,
they were only too happy to see us.Like i mentioned earlier most of us
inspectors were sub contractors, but there was one who was a full time employee
of the company who always considered himself a cut above us.I will call him dave
for the purpose of this story.The fact that we got more money as well as
subsistence for living away from home really used to bother him, so there was
always a bit of banter going on between us.Most of the supervisors were sub
contractors as well and they used to wind this bloke up quite a lot when they
came into the office to fill in the inspection request log. Now one day during
our day shift, dave was making his way back to the office with a carton of chips
which he had just bought from the canteen.He was rushing to get in from the rain
at the time, when a seagull came swooping down from nowhere and grabbed the
chips from his hand.This really scared him as he came rushing into the office
and looked petrified as he told us what had happened.He went on to explain that
he had a natural fear of birds already and this incident had a really bad effect
on him.This gave one of the welding supervisors an idea which he put into motion
a couple of days later during another storm.He had found a very large sea gull
that had collided with the jacket in the high winds and fallen to the ground
with a broken neck.He took this bird into the office, where he crept quietly
into the outer office and laid the bird out across the counter with its full
wing span and propped its head up with a forked stick.Once he had set it all up
and gathered a crowd to watch the proceedings he made a scuffling noise and ran
out of the office. Dave jumped to his feet and ran through to the outer office
thinking he was going to catch one of the supervisors loading the request book
as we called it, only to come face to face with this massive bird laid out right
in front of him on the counter.The look on his face was priceless to say the
least, the fear, shock and total panic that had overcome him, left him frozen to
the spot.It took him a long time to get over that, let alone the embarrassment
of it happening in front of all the staff that had gathered to witness it all.I
think the estimation he previously had of us subcontractors, which was already
low, took a further dive.He did, however, get his revenge on the supervisor some
time later, but that is a totally different story.
